Lessons
Here at Alton Piece we base our coaching around an understanding of the horse’s sensitivity, instincts and gait. This enables us to ride in harmony with the horse.
Horse riding is an excellent sport for improving muscle tone, balance and coordination whilst being out in the fresh air. The satisfaction of building up a partnership with such a majestic animal is second to none.
We teach classical riding and believe in lightness of the communication between horse and rider to gain the maximum result.
We give a personal, friendly service with small class lessons of up to six riders which are grouped into ability; we ride for the full duration of the lesson. Clients’ progress to become deep-seated and well balanced at all levels with excellent posture.
Safety is a priority, you will ride well trained horses and ponies with a BHS qualified instructor. Riding at Alton Piece is varied and fun with many different activities. Road safety is taught to children whilst hacking.
We cater for riders aged five years upwards and adults 11st and under. Our most experienced horses are suitable for disabled riders, where private lessons are preferred.
With outstanding outdoor facilities we operate all year round, however occasionally due to adverse weather, the lesson will change to stable management for your own comfort and safety. Please see our stable management page for more details.
